I (By Frederick Mess.)
' In theso days of sacrifice, stress,
, 'enunciation, anxiety and to some per
; haps, sorrow, it will be interesting to
aote tho attitude taken by the govern
aent in the matter of music as a lux
i ary or as a necessity; also the opin-
tons of those who stand high in ralli
; Jary and civic life.
Tho following quotation from an edi
torial in the Etude has been circulat
l d by the government:
i I "In order to win our great war some
, people thought it would be necessary
:o discountenance certain so-called
aon-essentials. Frequently the first
to be mentioned is music.
This has been the exact contrary
to the experience of all the warring
nations of Europe who, during three
years of torrents of fire, steel and
blood have found that music was one
of the things which have kept the men
af the front and the people at home
capable' of enduring the greatest
strain human beings have ever been
expected to bear.
"Great Britain is now reported to
bo spending large sums of money to
bring back her niusicians. speakers
and actors to help preserve the equi
librium at home."
"Without relaxation, amusement,
music and mind-rest civilization will
turn to utter barbarity, and the hope
of a sane and permanent peace will ;
be lost. j
"Our nation is making elaborate
provisions for the amusement of the
soldiers at the front. Wc who must
stay at home must depend upon mu
sic, reading, lectures and the theater
to keep our spirits at the topmost
point to bear any ordeal that may
come to us."
A public mass meeting held at the
Forrest theater in Philadelphia on
March 12, 191S, advocated the need
of music and drama in wartime as a
means of fostering the welfaro of the
United States government in prosecut
ing our great war. A long array of
distinguished speakers participated in
the meeting.
I quote briefly from some of the
speakers: 4
Dr. Lyman Abbott said: "It is a
grave question in m3' mind whether
or not as many persons have been
brought into the Kingdom of God by
song as by sermon. The means which
has' accomplished so much In the
cause of religion is surely needed in
the cause of patriotism. It is not only
a rest and refreshment, but also an
inspiration and a strength."
Thomas A. Edison skid: "You ask
mo if music is a human essential- In
stead of decrying music, the dema
gogues and others, whose hysteria or
self-consciousness has distorted their
vision, and befuddled their brains,
should urge the nation to have more
music in short do everything that
reasonably can be done to make
America a singing nation during the
war. When the casualty lists begin to
fill the pages of our newspapers we
shall need to sustain the national spir
it. The man who disparges music as
a luxury and non-essential is doing
the nation an Injury."
Owen Wister said: "To regard music
as a luxury in the home or in the con
cert at tho present time is an opin
ion held only7 by the unmusical. Any
body with observation and capable of
thought, understands that the power
of music at the present time is more
necessary in every part of our life
than it has ever been, and anyone
who takes steps to diminish its quan
tity lakes an unpatriotic step, though
he may do so in perfecL good faith."
Ida M. Tarbell said: "Those of us
at home need it much more than
over."
Anna H. Shaw said: "Tho power
of music is Immeasurable in times of
danger or social unrestt. We could
sing ourselves into freedom if all else
failed."
Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf said: "The
world will never permit the stage to
pass or music to cease its inspiring i
and cheering and uplffting voice. Wc .
never needed it more than at the pres
ent time."
John Luther Long said: "When this
war comes home to each one of us
we shall sing. It may be 'Tiperary.'
or 'Over There,' or it may be the dull
dirgo of those who follow in their
hearts funerals which have no corpses
but we shall sing. And in the sing
ing wo-shalhriso in a might -which the
world has not yet dreamed of nor
wc."
President Wilson attends tho thea
ter, so the newspapers tell us, several
times a week- A much-burdened man,
ho shows us one way of helping to
bear our burdens.
Send all the "Smileage" you can toi
the boys at the front, but do not for
get that wo need the "Smileage" of
song and music hero at home.
The boys "over there" will keep in
better spirits if they know that their
loved ones "over here" are keeping
cheery hearts instead of heavy ones.

TISTILUI!'
GIST PICTURE AT
OHElTHOlOi
In keeping with the progressive pol
icy of this theater, Manager Goss of
the Orphcum theater, announces one
of his greatest coups in tho history
of his playhouse in securing for four
days, commencing tomorrow, the elab
orate film spectacle "The Still
Alarm."
Few, if any stage production in the
annals of theatrical history have be
come better known to tho American
public than has this great melodrama,
which made its appearance in 1880.
In presenting "The Still Alarm" as a
photoplay, all of the picturesque
charm and romance of the original
story has been carefully adhered to
and the thrilling fire scenes have been
depicted in a manner which was ut
terly impossible on the stage of the
articulate drama.
Into the making of this production
have gone the limitless resources of
a great producing organization with
the result that it is a masterwork of
the screen which-sets forth in a most
graphic manner all of the thrills and
smashing climaxes which have been
responsible for its being referred to as
tho most stupendous dramatic triumph
of the modern theater.
The production was made in one of
the largest studios in the middle
west, and enacted by a cast of most
capable players, including Thomas
Santschi, Fritzi Brunette, Bessie Ky
ton and others of equal note. The
filming of fho great fire scene alone
cost many times more than the aver
age screen play, for it was necessary
to secure the required effects to burn
an eight-story chemical factory, as
well as a large mansion, which in the
play represents the homo of the he
roine in the story. In the making of
these scones seven fire companies
were used to fight the flames and thf
picture shows the m?:i resting at the
fire stations at the lime "the still
alarm" is received by rhe sweetheart
of the heroine; the entire department
mshing madly dowu the street, and
the fighting of the flames together
with tho many hairbreadth escapes
from falling stairways and crumbling
walls-
Our father and our father's fathers
will remember the cold chills which
crept up their spines when they wit
nessed for the first time this great
dramatic thriller on the stage, but the
younger generation havo a far greater
treat In slorefpr them during the en
gagement of this photoplay at the Or
phcum theater, where it is being pre
sented for the first time as a photo
play offering, with all the latitude
which has placed the screen so" far
superior to the slago in the presenta
tion of spectacular dramatic offer
ings. There will bo a continuous per
formance on Labor day.

METHODIST COLLEGE
MM' BE PLACED i

An authentic report concerning the
establishment of a ?300,00Q education-,
al institution in the state of Utah by
the Methodist church was brought to
Ogdcn yesterday by Rev.. Christian,
R. Garver upon his return from the
Methodist conference at Salt Lake.,
Rev. C. R. Garver, who is chairman
of the Methodist educational commit- (
tec, says only two cities in Utah will
bo considered and that Ogden will be"
his recommendation.
j An endowment of $300,000 has al-1
ready been requested and it is said
I that this would only be a starter in
providing buildings and equipment for ,
making tho college one of the best in
the entire west The need of a high '
.school of learning in Ogden has been i
known for somo time, and if the school i
is placed in Ogden it will receive un
divided supporL j
Dr. John J. Lace, in speaking of thei
project, says: '
"The closing of Prico academy was
merely a 'coup de grace.' Tho long
history of a useful but obsolete and ,
dwindling Methodist school system is
terminated. It remained for our
church in this state to inaugurato a
new educational era or. renounce its
expectations of a large and dominat
ing influence in shaping its permanent1
moral and reHgious complexion, A
first class academy with equipment
and instructors superior to the aver- ,
age high school and centrally located
would at once challenge support." i

Rev. Ei R. Fulkerson, D. W. of New
York City, will preach at the Metho
dist church at 11 a. m., Sunday. Dr.
Fulkerson was formerly American
consul at Nagasaki, Japan, and at
Manila, and has spent twenty-two
years in Japan. Korea, China and the
Philippine Islands. He was one of
the 'committee which translated the
New Testament into" tho Japanese lan
guage. During the Boxer uprising he
was sent by the American governmont
to Pekin, whore he succeeded in res
cuing some missionaries.
Dr. Fulkerson is considered an au
thority on eastern matters and was
frequently called home during the ad
ministrations of President Taft and
President Wilson for consultation on
Asiatic matters.
His subject tomorrow will be "The
Tragedy of Religion." The services
will probably represent a union of all,

Model Town to Be Carried on by
Women.
It will largely be a womau ruled
town. Many of the citizens of this
new community 'will como from
Venice, and In the main they will be
women, for In Itnly every able
bodied man whose work has not al
ready been cut out for him behind
the lines Is fighting at the front for
the women ho has left behind him.
Therefore, It is a case of the woman
who is behind the mau who la be
hind the gun. Many of these wo
men will be home workers by both
instinct and training, though almost
every class known to the country
will be represented. Many of the

in this modem suburb of Pisa.
There will be lace-maklng and gar
ment making, shoemnking and doz
ens of other activities, for In select
ing the site for the town all these
matters had to be borne In mind.
Those not engaged In home Indus
tries will find ready employment in
the factories of Pisa.
This village, however, is only oue
of tho many measures employed by
the American Red Cross to assist
refugees and families of soldiers in
Italy. In practlcaly every vlllago
on mainland and Islands Red Cross
relief Is operative. The families of
over 800,000 Italian soldiers havo
been visited and their Immediate
needs supplied. In co-operatlon
with Italian Governmental and oth
er agencies, workshops, day nurs
eries, schools, soup kitchens, cloth
ing centers, dry food shops, sewing
rooms, factories for the manufac
ture of shoes and furniture and oth
er needed supplies, orphan asylums,
summer camps for children, hospl
tals and dispensaries have beei
opened In many places.
Italian relief organizations havo
been assisted financially to carry on
and extend their work to cope with
tho refugee problem. Everywhere
behind the line these activities are
aiding in upholding the Italian
fighters' victory spirit, just as surely
as are the Red Cross canteens and
rest houses for soldiers on the front
line and in the railway depots.

Second Freucli Ace
Wins Forty -first
Victory in Air
;PARIS, Aug. 22. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) With forty
one official victories to his credit,
which in the French service signifies
that he has brought down probably
double that number, Captain Maddon.
tho second French ace, is reputed to
have the most unique tactics and for
adroit maneuvering is said to be sec
ond only to the first French ace, Rene
Fonck.
Maddon has formed the habit of tak
ing occasional holidays far over the
' - " I
German lines. His particular hobby fli
is to settle near some enemy air- w
dromes, to play around it for a time
until he has aroused his boche adver- i
sarles- They start after him thinkiug i
that he has been brought there by ?
engine trouble, and just at. the mo-
meat when they arc ready to pounce ;
him he showers them with a load of
incendiary bullets.
This method has succeeded again
and again in forcing boche aviators to
earth, either willingly or by force of
gravitation. It is said that his record j
of forty-one victories was made pos
sible largely by theso tactics.
